PUCE PROSPECT
NEVER SO GOOD,
SAYS DE VALERA
Irish Leader Thinks Atmosphere
in Both Albion and Erin
Is Right
ASPIRATIONS OF IRELAND
MISUNDERSTOOD IN BRITAIN
Dawn of Brighter Era Seen as
Conference in London
Begins
FIRST MEETING IS HELD
Discussion Opened at Downing
Street Residence of Lloyd
George
By the Associated Press
London. July 11. The outlook for a
lasting pence in Ireland Is brighter than
II hns ever been In history, declnrcd
Lomon Do Vnlera. the Irish Republican
leader, as hewas about fo enter Into
conference1 today with Mr. Llovd
Ceorgo, thc British Prime Minister, in
nn nttempt to find n basis for an ad-
justment of tho Irish problem.
Asked whnt he considered wns the
prospect of a settled pence being brought
nbout by the conference, Mr. Do Valera
replied :
"Thc outlook Is brighter than it over
was In history."
"I nra sure," ho added, "thnt the
atmosphere in Enclond and Ireland N
ripe for peace. The only thing thnt
is necessary now is for us to get down
to rock bottom."
It was the first time Mr. Do Valera
had spoken for publication since his or
rival In London Tuesday evening.
Simply Prlvnto Conferenco
"This is simply n private conference
with Mr. Lloyd George, instead of n
long-range bombardment, to sec whnt
can be done at close quarters." said the
Republican leader, who was in a bright
and cheerful mood, in talking with the
correspondents.
"I have been told," he said, "that
you have been rather disappointed in
my not talking more freely with you,
but I am sure you quite understand' the
difficulties of the moment. I have come
to tell you that it is not that I do not
wish to say a number of things to thc
people of Grent Britain, but that the
moment Isn't opportune for it.
"As far as I can seo from your press
here, which I have studied very care
fully, there is no country in the world
which needs more to understand thc
aspirations of tho Irish peoplu and thc
right and Ionic of their case than yonr
own people here.
"I should be very glad Indeed to put
tho case before your people, but as I
am putting It before the representative
of jour nation I think it unwise to put
ii ncroro your putmo.
Asked whether he would insist on tho
discussion in London being given full
publicity, Mr. He Valera employed
President W ilson s phrase, declaring he
personally wus In favor of "upon cove
nants openly nrrived at."
Irish Leader Punctual
Mr. He Valera arrhed nt 10 Down

Ing him, nml their conveis'itloiis over
the pence question wero begun im
mediately. Notwlthstand'ng a drizzling rain, a
groat crowd, which had gnthered at tho
entrance to Downing street, waited
patiently for some announcement from

.ur. in niera entered the rrinie .Min
ister's house the crowd knelt in White

Tho Irish republican leader drove di
rectly from the hotej in IliicklnKhnm

In a motorcar. He was accompanied by
Ait O'Brien, president of the Gnillc

A large crowd, mostly women, which

around tho automobile nn it departed,
cheering nnd waving Sinn I'ein iI.irs.
Reports published toilaj thai an

(hilled at De Valeni's heaclqiiiirteis this
morning by Secretary Clillders, of the
islting Irish pnity.
"There was no discussion, direct or
Indirect, of any such terms," said Mr.
fhlhlers. "The conference confined It
self exclusively to discussion of Mr.
Llojd George's invitntlon to a confer
ence nnd of the arrangements regarding
tho truce."
The published report to which Mr.

Coruriahi. tOit, 6u Public Ltdotr Co.
Washington, .TtTy 14. Japan's par
tial acceptance of the Invitation to
the Harding Pacific and disarmament
conference wns nnnounced nt the State
Depnrtment todny.
Japan agrees to discuss disarmament,
but Is sl'ent nbout tnkltig up tho prob
lem of the Pacific.
Mr. Hughes, It I" understood, will
wait for a full acceptance by Jnpan In
tho confident belief that one will bo
forthcoming.
In this limited acceptance Japan may
have been influenced by the hope thnt
the proposal to split the conference into
two. one on the Pncifie to be held In
London" nt oooo for the convenience of
the Colonial Premiers, and one in
Washington to be he'd Inter on disarm
ament, would prevail. But the Admin
istration Is firmly against tlTls dividing
thc conference.
Dislikes Far East Conferenco
For reasons that have been set forth
Jnpan dislikes a conference upon th
Far Fast. She regards her interests
In thnt section as dominant In tlio samo
ensp In which the I'nltod Stntos re
gards its interests In South America as
dnjnlnnnt. A conferenoe ninon tho Far
Fast reduces her to the level of the
other conferees and strips her nf the
pretensions springing from contiguity.
China, however, hns, (alien in line
with the Rnrnponn Powers. I'lupinl!
fied acceptance of thc 'President's pro
posals was received from China today.
In thp coming conference Japan la
Hiroaloned with the lo of all her illb'
lomotlo gains from the Croat War. As
the price of I. or Ntiprinrt I'l that war
F.uropo withdrew all objections to
Tnnnn's extending her power ovw
Chlon.
Japan extorted from Chinn certain
eoneess.ons known ns the twenty-one
demands. She took over by force the
!erman concessions in Clilnn. This
eountr.! seemed to confirm her preten
sions in the Orient through Mr. Lansing-
Ishit ngieement rci agnizing some
what vaguely the superiority of Japan's
intoiests there. And finallv the Pence
Conference virtually s.ild that ifewai
none of ts business what Jnpan did
with tho German rights in Shantung.
Kqu.il Rights in Pacific
This rnnfererce of Mr. Harding's Ira
plies thut no one power shall occupy
the position in the Orient which Japan
hns pretended to occupy, that the Pa
cific is the cipin! interest of nil the
.'rent powers and not of any one of
them. Jnpan hates to o inecde this
principle, but will, in the end, find no
way nf avoiding doing so.
Besldis Jnpan and China, Mr. Hughes
has heard from Be'gium nnd Holland,
who were not invited to the confer
ence, but desire to take part on ac
count of their Oriental iiitciests. l'hey
will be invited to be represented.
The Administration here does not
share Lord Northcllffe's aveision to
Lloyd (leorge as the representative of
(Jreot Britain at the coming interna
tional confeience. A. in so manv other
things olficlal sentiment has changed
toward the British Prem.or iiue PresU
dint Wilson left the White House.
Wilson Distrusted Llojd George
The former President Disliked nnd
dlsti listed Lluyd (!eorgo. He went over
to the Paris conference feeling that the
greutest (lunger which thientened hint,
there was the shiftiness of the British
leader, and making threats privately to
attack hhu before the English people if
his support of the League of Nations
wns hulf-beurted. At Paris persona!
relations inevitably grew better, and
Wilson for n long time relied upon
Llojd (ieorge to make tho best com
promise possible of thc conflicting iuter
ests in the conference.
When Wilson returned to thin coun
trj it was with a feeling that he had
been outwitted by the British Premier,
lite nctiiitieri of Lord (Jrey hero in
regard to the treaty deepened Mr. Wil
son's dis'ike, which remained till the
end of the Administration one of tlio
great causes of America's isolation from
world affairs during last year.
With the coming of Mr. Harding all
this changed. One of the llrnt subject
of Mr. Hughes' diplomacy was to secure
an agreement upou German reparations,
and his success wuh due. It is admitted
in Cabinet circles, largely to the clever
handling of the French by Lloyd
tieorge.
Leave Much to British Premier

convinced that he could not effectively
participate in tue settling ot tne proD
